The Timberwolves didn’t make any trades on night one of the NBA draft. But entering night two Thursday, President Tim Connelly struck a deal. The Wolves entered the second night with the first pick, No.

With Wednesday night's first round of the NBA Draft completed, the Minnesota Timberwolves will look to add more future talent in Thursday's second round. Their No. 17 pick resulted in Joan Beringer, a French center who could develop as Rudy Gobert's eventual replacement, or at least his backup.

While whoever is selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft will end up donning a Minnesota Timberwolves hat no matter what, there seems to be a decent chance that they won't end up playing basketball in the Twin Cities.
